vincentlepes Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 When working in Photo or Designer, on a pixel layer, using the command select all works on a new document but stops working as soon as I introduce an irregularly placed artboard. The same behavior with the invert pixel selection. I will attach a video and file to show the problem in action. It appears to happen as soon as the artboards are no longer aligned with each other but I am not positive, I just know it appears after creating new artboards that shift around in location. As it stands now, the only workaround I have found is to make a mask, invert the layer directly, and then make a new pixel selection to get an inverse pixel selection. Similarly, I can workaround the select all by using a rectangular marquee with snapping. However, these workarounds are cumbersome. While preparing a video to demonstrate this, I believe I have discovered that it all falls apart when an artboard is placed vertically higher than the initial document/artboard, suggesting that when the Y values shift to accommodate the new position is when the bug appears. There could be other factors, that's just what I observed. selection issue.mov Affinity Designer/Photo 2.2.0 MacBook Pro 2019 15" MacOS 13.3.1, 2.3GHz 8-Core Intel i9 Radeon Pro Vega 20 4GB 32GB 2400MHz DDR4 selection issue.mov selection issue.afdesign
Hangman Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Hi @vincentlepes, I can certainly confirm the issue with both your document and a new document... It definitely appears to be a bug, I see the same incorrect behaviour as far back as V1.7.3 though unsure if this has been previously reported and logged. vincentlepes 1 Affinity Designer 2.6.3 | Affinity Photo 2.6.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse

Dan C Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Thanks for your report @vincentlepes, as above this is a known issue which is already logged with our development team. I'll be sure to 'bump' this issue using your thread with our dev team now, to bring it to their attention once again and we hope to have this resolved in a future update. Please note that the previous 'AFD-5459' report tag has since been updated internally and is now logged under 'AF-633'. I hope this helps vincentlepes 1
vincentlepes Posted October 9, 2023 Author Posted October 9, 2023 Thank you both, I was unable to find that thread when I was searching but am glad it is documented. I felt I had seen this issue before v2. Seems like an easy thing to fix, since it appears to always be an unexpected Y offset when things are recalculated as new artboards are created, but I know sometimes there's more to it . Some developer forums have an area where users can vote on bug fixes and feature requests, do we have something like that here?
